Airmen assigned to the 184th Wing’s Point Defense Battle Lab-Kansas and the 319th Reconnaissance Wing’s PDBL-North Dakota coordinate operational scenarios during the Valuable Asset Protection Operations Rehearsal (VAPOR) 26.1 at Avon Park Air Force Test Range, Florida, March 22-April 2, 2026. VAPOR 26.1 is a joint, Total Force exercise evaluating non-kinetic, passive defense measures—such as camouflage, concealment, deception, and hardening—to protect vital Air Force assets from small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS). The rehearsal supports Air Combat Command's initiative to shift the military toward a proactive defensive posture, enhancing installation survivability and mission readiness.
